Virginia Hall Defiled

BY ALISON THOET

The residents of the third floor of Virginia Hall awoke last Thursday and Friday morning, Feb. 1 and 2, to a hallway and bathroom filled with fecal excrement, for the third time since the Fall semester.

Ren Armstrong, freshman and psychology major said, “It’s disrespectful to both the residents and the maintenance staff.”

Armstrong arrived at the site and saw, “what looked like a leaf,” she said.

According to Armstrong, there were two piles of fecal matter in the hallway as well as in one toilet and one shower stall.

“Another shower stall had ladies underwear in it and there were footprints in the bathroom,” said Armstrong.

The next day, a similar incident occurred in the same bathroom.

“I walked into the bathroom when a cleaning lady walked in and there were more chunks of poo lying in the shower,” said Kay Graves, freshman and math major. “The cleaning staff was visibly more upset and irritated than the day before.”

Graves said she didn’t expect things like this to happen in an all-girls dorm. There have now been three incidents involving fecal matter in the third floor of Virginia Hall, according to Armstrong.

“It’s really disturbing because the first time it was a weekend and we thought it could be a guy, but now we know it must be someone here,” said Armstrong.

Comments

I love the tags on this article. It’s also standard, from what I remember, for everyone in a dorm to be fined when damage is done that can’t be pinned to a single individual. I admire the spirit behind Ms. Wilhelm’s comment about fairness and equity. Truly, the culpable party should confess but alas, that’s not how the world works.

Just be glad that you don’t live in a more…spirited dorm, a la Mason a few years ago.
